On March 22 2019 the world lost an amazing singer songwriter, Joe Hall. For 5 years from 1975 to 1980 I had the pleasure of being in his band The Continental Drift. I got to watch him hone his craft and perfect his art. He continued to create an amazing variety of songs throughout his life. From raging rockers, tender country ballads, biting satire to ontological explorations, his creativity knew no bounds. Preparing To Begin is one of those songs. It has long been a favourite of mine and I hope you enjoy it too.

With this collection of gentle, thoughtful songs, Worthy—the multi-faceted drummer—has crafted a quiet gem for these troubled times.” - Nicholas Jennings - Music Journalist
